Full textAbstract:
The clinical perspective used to understand a patient with an addiction affects the course of treatment and the possibilities for recovery. Positivist and pharmacological models have become popular in the treatment of addictions. These models claim that addiction is primarily a pharmacological occurrence and privilege the biochemical effects of specific substances over the intrapsychic conflict of the patient in order to justify the phenomenology of addiction. Although psychoanalytic approaches have been previously used to treat addictive patients, they have frequently been considered unsuitable and inadequate for such cases. The author's purpose is to use the scope that psychoanalytic comprehension provides to examine the subject who is addicted in relation to his or her maturational development; considering the roles played by pleasure, ego defects, and defensive behavior, derived from case vignettes, in order to illustrate the role of intrapsychic life in the maintaining of an addiction.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the present paper was to explore the concept and experience of God in relation to recovery from drug addiction from a scientific perspective. Examination of a diverse literature was undertaken, including five key threads: the universality of the experience of God; the induction of spiritual experiences of God through hallucinogenic drugs; the nature of drug addiction from an evolutionary neurobiological perspective; the 12 Step movement as the prototype for the place of God in recovery from drug addiction; and identified ingredients for successful recovery from addiction. The diverse threads of literature examined can be integrated around the concept of higher power as an important factor in recovery from drug addiction. Higher power can be manifested in individuals in diverse ways: religious, ethnic, spiritual including the use of entheogens, as well as cognitive behavioural development, but a common final pathway for all is the strengthening of executive functions (the brain's ‘higher power’). Practical implications for assisting people with drug addiction to achieve recovery through their own experience of God/development of higher power are outlined.

Full textAbstract:
A model is presented which shows addiction as a disease resulting from the involuntary adaptation of the nervous system to a drug. The ability of various addictive drugs to mimic neurotransmitters results not only in biochemical adaptation of these neurochemicals and other chemical elements of the brain but also programmed/trained/physically enhanced nervous pathways involved in drug-seeking behavior and weakened or inhibited pathways leading to non-chemical rewards. Recovery involves removal of the chemical and retraining the survival system. Counterconditioning retrains the system that the drug doesn't work. Counseling/support and positive training/experience teach the system that the individual does work. The model reviews the role of genetics, neurochemistry, conditioning, self-esteem, family, support and therapy in the progression of disease and its recovery.

By some estimates, more than half of prison inmates in America have a drug or alcohol problem (Mumola and Karberg 2006). Existing models of treatment for these individuals, both inside and outside prison, have typically focused on the individual addict. These interventions often neglect the users' families and communities, and view poverty and marginalization as tangential to recovery—which is seen instead purely as an individual, internal process. This perspective defines addiction as a brain disease, and emphasizes the need of recovering addicts to learn new skills and to take personal responsibility for their actions and lives (Committee on Addictions of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry, 2002). These models, though a marked improvement over the idea of drug addiction as a moral failing, place an over-riding emphasis on the individual at the expense of the economic and social context.

Full textAbstract:
Drug addiction has become one of the most severe worldwide social problems. Recent research has examined utilizing social media to support addiction recovery and the problematic use of social media for selling drugs and glamorizing drug use. Prior studies have focused on textual and networking-based social media such as Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit, but there is limited understanding of how video-based platforms like YouTube allow creators to share drug addiction-related videos and discourse about addiction problems. This work performs a content analysis of 387 drug-addiction-related videos collected from YouTube. The grounded-theory approach based on the health-emergency framework identifies how drug-addiction videos discourse the addiction-related risk, blame, urgency, praise, and solution. Video viewership and comments are also compared between the emerged video themes. Results suggest YouTubers educate others about drug addiction, disclose personal experiences, and advocate for addiction prevention and recovery. Based on our findings, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of using video-sharing to prevent and educate drug addiction.

Full textAbstract:
Recovery is a process that a drug addict must go through if he wants to be completely cured of his addiction. Recovery does not mean just stopping using (drugs), recovery must be understood as the creation of a new lifestyle, thus it will be easier for someone to decide not to use (drugs) again. In recovery there are three things that must be considered, namely avoiding high-risk situations, learning how to relax, and telling the truth. Recovery demands total honesty, that is, if you want to recover, you have to be one hundred percent honest with the people who support you, such as family, doctors, therapists, etc. If you can't be honest with them then the recovery won't go well. Being totally honest means not giving his addictive nature a place to hide. If you lie, it means you have opened the door for relapse. An opportunity to change life can be seen as an opportunity to change life. Changing lives is what makes recovery difficult but also profitable. Recovery is difficult because a person has to change his or her life, and all changes are difficult, even if it turns out to be good. Recovery is beneficial because a person gets the opportunity to change his life. If we take the opportunity to change, then we will look back and reflect on our addiction as the one good thing that ever happened in life. In recovery, people often describe themselves as grateful addicts. Why should someone be grateful to have experienced an addiction because starting from that addiction they are then helped to find the peace and serenity that many people seek. Recovery (recovery) can encourage a person to change his life.

Drug addiction is a serious issue in today’s society. Women are giving birth to infants who are born addicted to illicit drugs, and these mothers are not able to care for their infants safely and competently without training and support. This article examines the prevalence of the problem. It also discusses the possible impact of parenting skills classes, as part of recovery efforts, for women seeking recovery who have recently given birth. Several programs already in place in the U.S have shown positive results for these mothers and their infants. Infants exposed in utero to illicit drugs need to be given all of the resources society can provide in an effort to stop the intergenerational cycle of drug addiction.

Full textAbstract:
Addiction has been a big worry in our society in recent years because of its complicated nature, which frequently resembles a chronic disease that affects both the brain and the body. Drug addiction is common among youth who are unable to cope with modern society's rules. Simultaneously, some kids are seeking help from various specialists, to come out clean. However, the problem for them does not end there, they may have difficulties resettling into normal life. They may be having trouble dealing with a traumatic experience that is holding them back or having trouble establishing a routine to reestablish normalcy or find work, among other things. The data for this qualitative study was collected using a semi-structured interview schedule as a tool and a Case study as a technique. Researchers used in-depth interviews to study and explore the multi-faceted challenges faced by recovered drug addicts in their normal lives after leaving rehab, as well as to understand the perception of drug addiction after recovery, its effect, causes, and other leading factors, with a focus on physical, spiritual, psychosocial, and socioeconomic challenges. Data were gathered from both primary and secondary sources. The study's primary respondents were ten cases who are recovered youth drug addicts between the ages of 20 and 34, who had completed their recovery and we're now living a normal life. As per findings, individuals have little awareness of drug addiction and have a preconception about drugs and drug addiction before consuming drugs. As a result of peer pressure, curiosity, abusive households, and other factors, the majority of them become addicts throughout adolescence and come from good socioeconomic situations, making narcotics easily accessible. The findings indicate that, after recovery, they mostly deal with society's stigma toward recovered addicts, which leads to overthinking and inability to keep sobriety, as well as failing to find inner selves and purpose in life.

Full textAbstract:
Addiction neuroscience promises to uncover the neural basis of addiction by mapping changes in the “diseased brains” of people with “drug addictions.” It hopes to offer revolutionary treatments for addiction and reduce the stigma experienced by those seeking treatment for a medical, rather than moral, condition. While the promises of addiction neuroscience have received considerable attention, relatively few studies have examined how neuroscientific discourses and promises play out in drug treatment settings. Instead of asking how neuroscience might measure or treat a preexisting addiction “problem,” we draw on poststructuralist ideas to trace how neuroscientific discourses produce addiction as a certain type of “problem” and the effects of these particular problematizations. Based on interviews with a range of different types of treatment providers working in Victoria, Australia, we discuss three themes that reveal neuroscientific discourses at work: (1) constituting pathological subjects, (2) neuroplasticity and “recovery,” and (3) the alleviation of guilt and shame via references to the “diseased brain.” On the basis of our analysis, we argue that dominant neuroscientific discourses produce patients as pathologized subjects, requiring medical treatment. We also contend that the intersection of neuroscientific and recovery discourses enacts “recovery” in terms of brain “recovery” through references to neuroplasticity. Further, when neuroscientific and moral discourses intersect, addicted subjects are absolved from the guilt associated with immoral behavior emerging from a “hijacked brain.” We conclude by emphasizing the need for future critical work to explore the complex ways in which neuroscientific discourses operate in localized care ecologies.

Recovery is related to control addiction problems among drug addicts based on context environment in Malaysia. This research, to identify several aspects that have relationship with addiction recovery among Malaysian drug addicts specifically. Although there are several measurement instruments that have been developed to assess drug addiction recovery, a good validity instruments are still lacking and limited. In this regard, this study aimed to test content validity of Drug Addiction Recovery Test (DART) instruments specifically among 123 treated addicts in Besut Cure and Care Rehabilitation Centre (CCRC) using the content validation Ratio (CVR) method to ensure that measurement instruments are appropriate for use in local contexts and cultures. Eight experts selected according to experience they are in a particular field of research. The experts made up of UniSZA, UMT and UPSI. The instrument validation process involved 80 items from four components. The previous study found that the instrument had good validity with the minimum level of CVR value (N=8, CVR = 0.75). A total of 68 items were identified to be retained while the other 12 items had values below 0.75 rated refund and purified. This study found that the instrument is appropriate and relevant and has the potential to be a good instrument for measuring addiction recovery among drug addicts. It is proposed that pilot studies be conducted, and the data should be analysed using more in-depth statistical analysis such as factor analysis to obtain more detailed information about the items.

Full textAbstract:
This article elucidates on how addiction affects family and how the latter copes while living with an addict. The article is based on a study whose objectives were to explore the factors influencing people to start using drugs and to learn the impacts of drug addiction on family members. It was found that many addicts started using drugs during their young ages mainly before the age of 30. Most of them started taking drugs due to curiosity, misconception, ignorance, or simply imitation of others under peer pressure. Exposure to certain social milieu such as availability of drugs or/and people using drug at the family and community level is one of the contributory factors. Different opinions with regard to the trend of people who abuse drugs are considered. It is shown that formal rehabilitation measures such as sober house were effective in rehabilitating drug addicts though many addicts opted to use these services as a last resort. We recommend that the public should be informed about the availability of sober houses and should be encouraged to use their services to deal with drug addiction problems.

Full textAbstract:
Recovery capital is an important concept in the field of addiction studies. A person’s access to recovery capital can mean the difference between the termination of addiction and successful reintegration or ongoing criminality and drug use. Increasingly, religious institutions are playing a vital role in the provision of social services, including addiction services that provide access to recovery capital. This article begins by exploring the concept of recovery capital and its utility in the successful reintegration of offenders. It then uses a case study to show how one’s religious organization plays an important role in providing the necessary recovery capital for the desistance of drug abuse and for a successful reintegration into the community. Through in-depth interviews with several persistent adult offenders, this article demonstrates that religious organizations may play an important role in providing the recovery capital that so many persistent drug offenders are lacking.

The challenge is to identify the problems that addicts have in their agency without discarding their potentially full-blown agency. Design: In philosophy of agency, moral responsibility and accountability, in particular, may refer to control over one’s action. I discuss this control as reason-responsiveness and, on a more general level, illustrate the importance of moral agency to human agency with a contrasting example of psychopaths and addicts as agents. Measures: A philosophical analysis is carried out in order to argue for the relevance and importance of moral accountability in therapeutic models of addiction. Findings: The example of psychopaths and addicts illustrates that moral agency is part of full-blown human agency, as psychopaths are generally believed to lack moral skills common to non-psychopathic individuals. I argue that addicts are not analogous to psychopaths in the framework of moral agency in this respect. Conclusions: By fleshing out the conceptual considerations in the framework of addiction therapies, I clarify the relevance and importance of moral accountability in therapeutic models of addiction. If evidence-based therapies attempt to restore the addict’s full-fledged agency at least in respect to addiction, then acknowledging addicts’ moral accountability for their action does matter.

Full textAbstract:
(1) Background: This study aimed to explore the dynamics of meaning-making among drug addicts during drug addiction recovery by using a case study approach. The participants were five male recovering addicts, aged 26 to 49 years, who had been abstinent for 4 to 17 years; (2) Methods: Data collection consisted of in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Questionnaire, Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), Beck’s Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and recovery stage criteria based on the Developmental Model of Recovery (DMR). (3) Results: The results showed that meaning making was an ongoing process before and during the use of drugs and recovery. Drug use was a coping strategy to overcome distress caused by ACE, which was perceived as a stressful event and brought up an implicit meaning of ACE. This initial meaning played an essential role in initiating the dynamics of the subsequent meaning-making process. A similar mechanism using non-constructive adaptation processes other negative impacts of drug use. They created more distress and developed false-positive beliefs, which resulted in continued drug use. Symptoms of depression occur during drug use, which drags the addict to the lowest point in life (hitting rock bottom), and addicts perceive it as a turning point for seeking treatment and attaining recovery. In complete recovery, reappraising the meaning of the stressors experienced throughout life makes new constructive meaning. Creating a constructive meaning of earliest traumatic experiences played an important role in preventing relapse and ensuring the success of recovery from drug addiction.

The Garden of Allan is far from the Garden of Eden, but God, the first and ultimate gardener is there. Teen Challenge (TC), a faith-based, residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program on 10 acres of land in rural Saskatchewan near the town of Allan. What began with a simple church bulletin, with a notice saying that Teen Challenge needed donations of fruits and vegetables lead to the development of an active gardening and food project at the centre. What could have been a simple donation developed into a project that has dramatically changed the life of the volunteer coordinator, and the lives of several students in the program. In addition to developing their faith, and using their faith to overcome their addictions, the TC program emphasizes community living, life skills, health and recreation, music, art, and character development. Gardening and food related activities are valuable life skills, are part of a healthy and healing lifestyle, and further develop the student’s faith. Gardening activities can be extremely therapeutic in relieving stresses including depression and anxiety, which are common in the lives of those struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. Gardening can also be extremely rewarding, yielding food for sustenance, success, achievement, validation, and prayers answered. In the Garden of Allan, gardening is both indoor and outdoor. During inclement times of the year, the students grow nutrient dense microgreens that are proven beneficial in repairing damage caused by drugs and alcohol. The Garden of Allan is where faith and gardens grow.

Full textAbstract:
Animal models of relapse to drug-seeking have borrowed heavily from associative learning approaches. In studies of relapse-like behaviour, animals learn to self-administer drugs then receive a period of extinction during which they learn to inhibit the operant response. Several triggers can produce a recovery of responding which form the basis of a variety of models. These include the passage of time (spontaneous recovery), drug availability (rapid reacquisition), extinction of an alternative response (resurgence), context change (renewal), drug priming, stress, and cues (reinstatement). In most cases, the behavioural processes driving extinction and recovery in operant drug self-administration studies are similar to those in the Pavlovian and behavioural literature, such as context effects. However, reinstatement in addiction studies have several differences with Pavlovian reinstatement, which have emerged over several decades, in experimental procedures, associative mechanisms, and terminology. Interestingly, in cue-induced reinstatement, drug-paired cues that are present during acquisition are omitted during lever extinction. The unextinguished drug-paired cue may limit the model’s translational relevance to cue exposure therapy and renders its underlying associative mechanisms ambiguous. We review major behavioural theories that explain recovery phenomena, with a particular focus on cue-induced reinstatement because it is a widely used model in addiction. We argue that cue-induced reinstatement may be explained by a combination of behavioural processes, including reacquisition of conditioned reinforcement and Pavlovian to Instrumental Transfer. While there are important differences between addiction studies and the behavioural literature in terminology and procedures, it is clear that understanding associative learning processes is essential for studying relapse.

Full textAbstract:
Addiction neuroscience models posit that recurrent drug use increases reactivity to drug-related cues and blunts responsiveness to natural rewards, propelling a cycle of hedonic dysregulation that drives addictive behavior. Here, we assessed whether a cognitive intervention for addiction, Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), could restructure reward responsiveness from valuation of drug-related reward back to valuation of natural reward. Before and after 8 weeks of MORE or a support group control, prescription opioid users (N = 135) viewed opioid and natural reward cues while an electroencephalogram biomarker of target engagement was assessed. MORE was associated with decreased opioid cue-reactivity and enhanced capacity to regulate responses to opioid and natural reward cues. Increased positive affective responses to natural reward cues were associated with decreased craving and mediated MORE’s therapeutic effects on opioid misuse. This series of randomized experiments provide the first neurophysiological evidence that an integrative behavioral treatment can remediate hedonic dysregulation among chronic opioid users.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Possession and use of illegal drugs carry harsh penalties in Japan if an individual is apprehended by authorities. These severe legal restrictions stigmatize drug use while failing to eliminate narcotics from Japan. This makes individual efforts to take on recovery difficult, as admissions of past use are often met with fear and disdain. Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Center (DARC) is a Japanese organization that helps individuals work a program based on Narcotics Anonymous (NA), while providing members a place to spend their days free from temptation or judgment. Underestimated in this program is how DARC members drug use is often a symptomatic response to interpersonal trauma and struggles to meet societal expectations of success. I argue here that an NA influenced approach to recovery, typically the only option available to those seeking help in Japan, struggles to acknowledge contextual and societal factors that motivated members to begin using drugs. In doing so, I show the necessity for comprehensive change to the ways in which Japan understands, perceives, and treats those labeled as addicts.

Full textAbstract:
There is a constant debate that employers are not adequately prepared to hire individuals in addiction recovery for a number of reasons. Literature suggests lack of awareness, knowledge, and skills necessary to interact with individuals in addiction recovery as common factors impacting employment outcomes. The purpose of the study was to use open-ended questions to examine employer perspectives toward hiring individuals in addiction recovery. Furthermore, the authors examined gender, business industry, and employer profession to identify any common factors between groups. Major themes in the study included employability, available supports and resources for business owners, influence of societal biases, and concerns related to applicants in recovery well-being. Although the findings suggests, the initial willingness to hire individuals in addiction recovery tends to be low among employers, other findings indicate with appropriate training and resources, employers may be susceptible to hire individuals in addiction recovery. The type of drug, length of recovery, and support of the person in recovery, when disclosed, appears to have a positive effect on employers’ willingness to hire.

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative study explores the experience of relationships in the lives of Israeli women coping with drug addiction, following detoxification. The theoretical foundation of the study is the relational theory of women and drug addiction. The aim of the current study is to use an integrated, ecosystemic framework that contextualizes the women’s experiences in relationships. The study is designed according to interpretative phenomenological analysis. The research includes in-depth, loosely structured interviews with 12 women coping with drug addiction, aged 20–33, who have been free of drugs at least 1 year. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by coding meaning units, forming categories, and developing four focal themes: (1) preoccupation with achieving security in relationships with significant others: parents and partners; (2) loneliness and fear resulting from traumatic experiences; (3) the road to recovery as an experience of repeated caring contact by drug rehabilitation staff; and (4) gendered social and cultural stigma by society at large as experienced in relationships with “helping” professionals. The discussion demonstrates how the experiences of women coping with drug addiction who are free of drugs can be divided into three levels, based on the ecosystemic perspective: the internal microsystem of the self, the external mesosystem of relationships with others, and the macrosystem of self and society. Implications for policy practice with women coping with drug addiction are presented based on the gender-mainstreaming approach.

SummaryThere have been many developments in addiction psychiatry over the past decade. Some of these are political, such as preference for recovery-/ abstinence-based programmes. Prohibition is becoming increasingly unrealistic, especially considering the effective legalisation of recreational cannabis in Uruguay and two US states. Legal highs and diversion of prescribed drugs (such as methadone, gabapentinoids, methylphenidate and benzodiazepines) are now a major problem. Furthermore, diversion of opioid drugs that are prescribed for pain is reaching epidemic proportions, causing a significant change in the nature of patients being referred to addiction services.Learning Objectives•Be aware of political issues regarding abstinence-based treatment and prohibition.•Be aware of risks and increased prevalence of diversion of drugs of misuse, especially opioid pain killers, gabapentinoids and benzodiazepines.•Update knowledge of problems with methadone such as cardiac arrhythmias and diversion.

Recovery-based initiatives have been found to be effective for people with addiction. Recovery’s Got Talent, a talent show designed to enhance resiliency-based attributes for people in recovery, is an innovative initiative that works toward increasing positive self-concepts and social support for people in recovery. A total of 179 Recovery’s Got Talent participants completed a survey to determine the extent to which they perceived the event instilled hope, fostered self-esteem and self-efficacy, and provided a substitute for drugs and alcohol. Positive indications were noted on the above. Recovery’s Got Talent presents an opportunity to deliver drug-free messaging of hope and support to help reduce the stigma of those living in recovery.

It is well recognized throughout the history that religiosity, spirituality and the meditation practice have significant effects to the physical and mental health. Hence, this paper interested to evaluate the effectiveness of spiritual meditation on drug addiction recovery and its effects on psychological and mental health aspects. Three main databases in medicinal and psychology field were screened to identify the eligible studies which are PubMed, Cochrane and Scopus by using Boolean expression. Fourteen papers were included in this review. Standardized mean differences were calculated based on the intergroup mean difference and standard deviation followed by Cochran’s Q and I2 determination for heterogeneity analysis. The mean differences were statistically pooled in the meta-analysis and presented as a forest plot. The risk of bias was high for each study and assessed using the Jadad scale. The meta-analysis showed significant differences in across studies for addiction related outcome (I2=27%, 95% CI: -1.703, -0.454), anxiety (I2=0%, 95% CI: -0.874, -0.634) and stress (I2=100%, 95% CI: -0.874, -0.634). In general, spiritual meditation may promote the addiction recovery as well as improve the psychological and mental health outcomes by reducing the depression, anxiety and stress symptoms. In conclusion, randomized control trial on spiritual meditation gave positive impact on the addiction behavior as well as mental health and clarifies its reliability on addiction therapy problems.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 04 October’20 Page : 237-250

Alcoholics and addicts who are recovering may find that prescription and nonprescription drugs can be stumbling blocks to recovery unless they have appropriate counseling and drug therapy management. Pharmacists can use their knowledge of pharmacy, pharmacology, and physiology to help patients avoid relapse to active alcoholism or addiction. They can serve as patient mediators with busy prescribers. In patient counseling, pharmacists can differentiate between passing and life-threatening symptoms, explain drug-free or drug-minimum alternatives, and generally supplement the tools and principles patients receive in their mutual support groups.

Full textAbstract:
Faith-based beliefs are associated with and considered to be a vital component in enhancing the efficacy of substance abuse treatment and recovery. However, relatively little empirical information has been accumulated on the temporal stability of individuals' use of faith and its importance before and following initiation of the therapeutic process. The current study examined persistence in turning to faith across time as a predictor of substance use, criminal behavior, and perceived addiction severity in a sample of 500 Kentucky Drug Court participants. Results suggest that when modeling variance in faith, which persists across the two-year span of Drug Court involvement as a latent construct, greater persistence in one's faith predicts decreases in substance use frequency measured at the final 24-month interview. The latent faith construct was marginally related to differences in 24-month criminal behavior and was not associated with perceptions of addiction severity. Results are discussed for substance abuse treatment needs and recovery.

Intent to influence the process of recovery and relapse prevention for people with Substance Abuse Disorders (GPZ), which is being rehabilitated. The purpose of the study was to find the dimension of self-efficacy people with GPZ to recover from drug addiction, as well as valid and reliable statement items on self-efficacy scale instruments. This study used a mixed methods approach with the transformative sequential design. Instrument research through documentation studies, interviews, and surveys with N = 217. Qualitative descriptive analysis through the study of journal and book, focus group discussion for the determination of the statement items. Quantitative descriptive analysis to know the validity and reliability of the instrument. The findings reveal indicators of self-efficacy scales to recover from addiction through three dimensions, ie (1) level dimension, (2) general dimension, and (3) strength dimension. The self-efficacy scale has 32 valid statements with a coefficient of Corrected Item-Total Correlation ≥ 0148 and has a reliability coefficient of 0.862 with a high category. Self-efficacy scales are useful identifying confidence levels for people's with GPZ during rehabilitation programs and counseling development.

Full textAbstract:
The longstanding association between addiction, crime, and mortality has become increasingly severe in Canada, affecting larger numbers of individuals and communities. Diverse and irreconcilable courses of action have been proposed involving the decriminalization of drug possession, expanded resources to promote recovery from addiction, or both. The current review used the PICOTS method to identify peer-reviewed publications that reported outcomes of reducing the criminal consequences of drug possession and the specific relationship between law reform and the well-being of people who are at greatest risk for poisoning. We separately included notable reports and grey literature discussing outcomes associated with the Portuguese National Drug Strategy. Over 2,500 articles were retrieved from three databases, with six meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria. An additional five manuscripts were retrieved specific to Portugal. The evidence reviewed indicates that drug decriminalization alone is associated with potential harms to drug users and their communities, and that potential benefits may be realized when law reform is closely coordinated with the provision of evidence-based resources that promote recovery from addiction. The evidence summarized in this review supports careful consideration of the factors necessary to promote social reintegration among people who are at highest risk for drug-related harms, including repeated criminal offending and death.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThis article reviews the theory, clinical application, and empirical findings on mindfulness–based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for mental health and addictive disorders. Expanding upon the research demonstrating the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for addiction, this article develops and explores the rationale for combining mindfulness-based interventions with evidence-based CBTs in treating addictive disorders, with an emphasis on substance use disorders with co-occurring mood disorders.This article proposes that deficits in affect regulation — related to the behavioral and emotional effects of neurobiological changes that occur with longterm substance abuse — pose a unique set of challenges in early recovery. Prolonged use of addictive substances impairs the brain pathways to detach or maintain perspective in response to strong emotional states. In treating this affective dysregulation, which can contribute to the vulnerability to relapse in the early stages of recovery, the affect–regulation-specific focus of MBCT adds a valuable element to augment CBT for addiction. Summarizing magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography findings on the effects of MBCT and the neurobiology of drug addiction, this article out-lines directions for further research on potential benefits of MBCT for the recovering individual. Finally, this article describes a structured protocol, developed at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, which combines CBT with mindfulness-based intervention, for the treatment of affect-regulation issues specific to co-occurring addictive and mood disorders.

This inquiry explored recovery from drug abuse from a mother's perspective. Women's experiences of treatment and recovery are unique from men's, and mothers’ experiences have been studied little (Poole & Dell, 2005). During three interviews, the participant was encouraged to deeply explore her experience of recovery as a woman and mother. This project used both Consensual Qualitative Research (Hill, Thompson, Hess, et al., 2005) and the Wish and Fear List (Perry, 1997). These two types of analysis provided complementary views of the participant's experiences. The themes of mothering, recovery, and identity development–-and the proportions of wishes and fears expressed at two phases in the participant's recovery journey–-are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Bible Journaling is a trend of the past decade whereby readers make creative, visual interventions in their Bibles, using coloured pens and pencils, watercolours, stickers and stencils, highlighting texts of particular resonance. Journaling, in its more conventional written forms, has long been recognised as a pathway to spiritual development. Significantly, Bible journaling is almost exclusively practiced by women and has a high level of interpersonal interaction attached to it, through open and mutual sharing of these creations, through various online social media fora. Gleaned from the sharing of women who journal for spiritual support, this article examines the role Bible journaling plays in aiding recovery from drug addiction. Multimodal analysis is a methodological approach that provides a structured semiotic framework in which to closely examine every feature of a creation such as a journaled page of a Bible, to examine how the journaler has made meaning of a text through their interventions on the page. Appreciating every mark, choice and placement of image, colour, typography as a motivated sign revealing the interest of the creator, the sign-maker, a detailed multimodal analysis is conducted of one page of a recovered drug-user’s journaled Bible. As shall be demonstrated, profound insights into the appropriation of sacred texts for the spiritual life of a recovering addict can be gleaned in this process. Bible journaling reveals itself to be a highly valuable spiritual practice for those in addiction recovery. This interdisciplinary paper uniquely brings a methodological approach from the field of semiotics to the field of spirituality. Both the methodological approach and the subject of sacred text journaling may be of particular interest to spiritual directors, across many religions with a foundational sacred text, as a means whereby adherents can engage with a text in a deep, contemplative and creative practice that is personally, spiritually sustaining and motivating during a difficult phase of life.

<p class="06IsiAbstrak"><span lang="EN-GB">A Psychospiritual therapy was found to be effective in the treatment of drug addiction carried out in government and private care centers. Psychospiritual therapy itself is a psychotherapy that uses a spiritual approach in its application. Islamic Psychospiritual Therapy with the concept of Tazkiah al-Nafs is incomplete without Ruqyah Syar'iyyah aspects. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the method of implementing Ruqyah Syar'iyyah elements in the context of drug addiction recovery. Thus, qualitative research was carried out in five treatment centers for drug addicts selected using an Islamic psychospiritual approach. Data obtained through text analysis, interviews and observations. The study found that the Ruqyah Syar'iyyah aspect was carried out in the Psychospiritual treatment process in the recovery of drug addicts. However, he was not given serious attention from the point of consciousness, understanding and appreciation. As a result, trainers are less concerned with training after completing the treatment period at the drug rehabilitation center and ignoring it. After that the coach is easy to return to drug addiction. In addition, research suggests that some elements of Ruqyah Syar'iyyah and their appreciation be added and applied systematically through the process of riyadah al-Nafs and Muraqabah al-Nafs.</span></p>

Full textAbstract:
Many new and existing cases of viral hepatitis infections are related to injection drug use. Transmission of these infections can result directly from the use of injection equipment that is contaminated with blood containing the hepatitis B or C virus or through sexual contact with an infected individual. In the latter case, drug use can indirectly contribute to hepatitis transmission through the dis-inhibited at-risk behavior, that is, unprotected sex with an infected partner. Individuals who inject drugs are at-risk for infection from different hepatitis viruses, hepatitis A, B, or C. Those with chronic hepatitis B virus infection also face additional risk should they become co-infected with hepatitis D virus. Protection from the transmission of hepatitis viruses A and B is best achieved by vaccination. For those with a history of or who currently inject drugs, the medical management of viral hepatitis infection comprising screening, testing, counseling and providing care and treatment is evolving. Components of the medical management of hepatitis infection, for persons considering, initiating, or receiving pharmacologic therapy for opioid addiction include: testing for hepatitis B and C infections; education and counseling regarding at-risk behavior and hepatitis transmission, acute and chronic hepatitis infection, liver disease and its care and treatment; vaccination against hepatitis A and B infection; and integrative primary care as part of the comprehensive treatment approach for recovery from opioid abuse and dependence. In addition, participation in a peer support group as part of integrated medical care enhances treatment outcomes. Liver disease is highly prevalent in patient populations seeking recovery from opioid addiction or who are currently receiving pharmacotherapy for opioid addiction. Pharmacotherapy for opioid addiction is not a contraindication to evaluation, care, or treatment of liver disease due to hepatitis virus infection. Successful pharmacotherapy for opioid addiction stabilizes patients and improves patient compliance to care and treatment regimens as well as promotes good patient outcomes. Implementation and integration of effective hepatitis prevention programs, care programs, and treatment regimens in concert with the pharmacological therapy of opioid addiction can reduce the public health burdens of hepatitis and injection drug use.

Long-term recovery from drug abuse is a volitional process. Until now, no measure has been available for assessment of executive functioning capacity in this process. This study aims to identify a volitional process for drug addiction rehabilitation and to develop the Volitional Components Inventory for Drug Rehabilitation (VCI-DR). An item pool was constructed, based on theory construction, individual- and group-focused interviews, and expert feedback. Results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses suggested a structure with five factors: motivation control, impulse control, arousal control, self-discipline, and action management. The VCI-DR displayed promising convergent and discriminant validity with theoretically predicted criterion variables (sense of control, indecisiveness, impulsiveness, motivation of drug addiction rehabilitation, and emotion regulation). In addition, results showed good test–retest reliability, with excellent internal consistencies. Taken together, this research offers promising support for the VCI-DR, potentially advancing both basic and applied addiction research.
